Auto-fill contacts don't work in Yahoo Mail with FF browser but does with IE tab add-on inside FF. That is, contact info doesn't auto fill when assigning who receives the e-mail. Same problem exists for hovering notes on clickable stories in My Yahoo for Reuters, USA Today, etc... No hovering notes, but hovering notes work in IE tab add-on inside FF.

1. Invoke Yahoo e-mail using FF browser
2. Click on To: line for recipient of the e-mail
3. Start typing contact
Actual Results:  
 - the autofill function doesn't work.

Expected Results:  
When I typed the first letter of an existing contact, the contact name should appear as a selection.

Hovering notes don't work over clickable stories in Yahoo using Reuters, USA Today, etc... No hovering notes using FF, but hovering notes work in IE tab add-on inside FF.
